Gainesville Punches Back At The American Humanist Ass.

When Gainesville was threatened by the American Humanists, they stood up in defiance. "Finally! A public school official with a backbone!" says FOX's Todd Starnes of superintendent Will Schofield, who is not backing down.

"The American Humanist Association (AHA) is about to learn a very important lesson -- folks around Gainesville, Georgia don’t take kindly to out-of-town atheists trying to bully their children.

More than 200 people turned out in defiance of the self-described atheist group early Wednesday morning for an impromptu prayer rally in the middle of the Chestatee High School football field.

The previous day, the atheists (acting on behalf of a single, unnamed citizen) sent a letter to school officials demanding that the football coaching staff stop participating in team prayers and that they remove all biblical references and religious messages from team documents."

...

The atheists apparently went undercover to photograph coaches engaged in what they considered to be unseemly and unconstitutional behavior with the teenage football players.

“We have received reports that CHS coaches have joined players in prayer while standing in a circle, hands interlocked,” the atheists breathlessly reported in their letter to the Hall County School District.

The superintendent is not impressed:

"“Unfortunately when school systems get letters like this and people start rattling sabers, usually the first reaction by a lot of school districts is, ‘Oh my goodness, we don’t want to be in the news. We don’t want to be sued, so we better stop doing whatever we are doing,’” he said. “I don’t think that will be the first reaction of the Hall County School Board."

I say, let them sue; take them to court and counter sue. Engage the ADF and the ACLJ lawyers in your defense. Sue for harassment and plenty of cash. PLENTY of cash. And an injunction against harassment lawsuits.
